Hi @GDMike / @RickyDean

There is much more (all packed up):

https://www.ebay.com/usr/ronvankl_0

TI99VIDEOS (with EBAY indicated in front of it, that is working before I packed it)

https://www.youtube.com/@Globeron-TI99VIDEOS/videos

Correct the Myarc Geneve 9640 is my system (it is the complete system, PEB box + Geneve + Rave99 + HRD3000, FlashFloppy-USB drive, 3.5 drive, plus OSSC for output)

reason I ship it all together, because it took me some time to learn it and to get a stable video-output signal 15 KHz (very sharp with OSSC)

I video-ed that all is working before packing it all in boxes... and then DHL asks me to unpack it and re-pack it in their boxes 🙂

(and agree with you ... eBay, gee what a system and complicated setup for international shipments, but I think I have it almost under control,

expect shipment costs for books, papers, as they lock it at USD 20, while my shipment costs are higher for this material, see DHL attachment

- Zone 3 for USA and Europe '

Today was doing some shipments. DHL rates from Thailand have been increased (new rates are in the PDFs below).

If that Warlords is too big, you might be able to use the one here:

Both now have been added to Retrobat/MAME64.

Globeron, can you capture the solitaire game with the protection to .dsk or wav?

@jrhodes (no clue why I never replied, might be busy). I remember the Solitaire tape, but I think I sold/shipped it to Ciro if I remember correctly?). @ti99iuc ?

and I cannot remember if there was a backup. It was a good solitaire game I remember.

I have to practice to get at this level as in the Colecovision video.

On the TI-99/4A at Phase 16 the level looks different (Donkey Kong style, I like it!)

POW regenerates first on level 8, then every 5 levels after that.

The trick to the bonus stage is never turn back (I usually turn only once.)

Thank you. It is an incredible fun game. I played today at least 4 hours and try to let the enemies jump on each other or on the POW block, or they fall all the way down.

Nice! (was wondering what you are working on). Now with the Mario being back in focus, hope to see one day Mario Kart coming out soon for the TI-99/4A 🙂

Yes I do, I will capture it again if I see it next.

Until now (playing on Retrobat/Mame64) I did not see it happen yet). 96,940 score now. Really did not know this is such a good game. Enjoying it with some special moves getting turtles jump down next platform, or all the way down or get them on the pow icon. It is fun! (The Pow I do not completely understand it when it comes back) managed to get to phase 13.

I left some commenti about It on YT too, but also on his Twitter account. Still no reply. He Just replied when i wrote about a bug to fix on one of his game.

I really like his games and amazing to port it to the platforms. Maybe you should report a bug in the TI version of Impetus 🙂 (the bug is that the whole program does not work / does not exist).

Also I was wondering if we could do it ourselves, it looks like the compilers are available.

With Disk Utilities 4.x it is possible to add comments at a disk (I did this in the 80's) how to start a program.

Long time ago @F.G. Kaal added this in TIDIR to visualise it, but recently when copy-ing disks,

then this description field is not copied to the new disk.

@ball also check out the Retrobat forum (or Batocera), it is a front end of emulstation, but it uses Mame64 as emulator and easier to load games (and all .rpk in the file are working).

@Shift838, @globeronfound them, Inufuto has a lot more games for the TI99 as well. Fun fun...

http://inufuto.web.fc2.com/8bit/ I asked about 5 times (also at RetroPC on Youtube) if Impetus can be made for TI-99/4A, it is the only one missing, but I am using the MSX version now.

@Appeelicious for visualisation how it is used on a TI-99/4

(PS I cannot check the numbers of the overlays as everything is packed in boxes)

In continuing with my previous post, this time I have a beige 4/a in cosmetically pristine condition. (Shocking really considering its 40 + years age.) However, when I tested with the power supply and RF box from another system, I just see a blank screen, hear swishy sounds, then a low hertz hum and see no cyan TI start up screen loading.

But again, if you like to/want to tinker, or if you need this for key parts or just need a shell in stunning, just-out-of-the-factory condition, feel free to PM me. You will soar in that capacity.

I have a similar issue, but complete new Beige TI, but it worked before tested a few times and put in the box, last time I tested only a black screen. Normally it are the video chips having the issue. There are several forum websites talking about it https://www.nightfallcrew.com/22/06/2013/texas-instruments-ti-994a-diagnosing-and-fixing-motherboard-faults/

I learned from the video of @pixelpedant that you can bring back food to the table by first hitting it then pull and later push it to the table. Bug sprays come each 5,000 then press S to Spray.

If anyone is still looking, I wrote a 1 or 2 player version of Tetris last year that can be downloaded from GitHub here:

https://github.com/CheungChang7/TI99_HOMEBREW/tree/main/TETRIS

Let me know if you think it will suffice.

I like this version with 2 players.

The 1st Tetris I used is of Alexander Hulpe. I have it somewhere (size is too big for Retrobat. Rpk format)

There is also a TI-Tris.

(And Geneve 9640 has a Tetris as well).
